4 Installation
This chapter describes the requirements and procedure for installing the Newton
weighing system.
4.1 Material requirements
The following components need to be available in order to install a Newton 100-
S/200-S weighing system:
230-volt power supply near the control cabinet.
Gutter. The minimum length of the gutter is the distance between two roof
trusses in the greenhouse.
The materials required for suspending the gutter.
This may include:
steel wire
clamps to suspend the steel wire from the lattice girder
eye hooks that you screw into the S-load cells
metal brackets to attach the S-load cells to the weighing gutter.
4.2 Installation requirements
The following requirements apply to the on-site installation of the Newton weighing
system:
The gutter must be at least five centimetres above the ground. Use standard
hanging gutters with suspension system.
The gutter must hang completely free.
Does the grower use a gutter system? Make sure that the existing gutter is
properly supported so that it cannot bend. Hang the new gutter five cm above
the existing gutter.
Make sure that there is sufficient space to connect the cables of the force
transducers to the control cabinet. Do not shorten or extend these cables.
4.3 Installing the weighing system
Complete the following steps to install the weighing system:
1. Attach the force transducers to the gutter suspension system. For example,
directly above the gutter with an S-hook or from the truss.
2. Attach the control cabinet to a board or a post.
3. Connect the force transducer cables directly to the control cabinet. Do not
shorten or extend these cables.
4. Fit the force transducers in line with the direction of force (an arrow on the load
cell indicates the direction of force).
